Speaker Installation (continued)4NOTE: The frame will overlap the cutting edge by about a 1/4-inch which willmask any minor cutting inaccuracies.5. Confirm the speaker easily fits into the hole, without any gaps.Connecting the Speaker:6. Pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connectthe speaker. Split the two conductors of thespeaker wire apart about 3-inches so they form a“Y”. Using wire strippers, remove about 1/2-inch ofinsulation from each of the two conductors of thewire to expose the bare metal and twist each of theconductors into a single unfrayed strand.The speaker terminals will accommodate anyspeaker wire up to 14-gauge. Select an appropriatewire gauge from the following chart:18 gauge for up to 50-feet16 gauge for up to 100-feet14 gauge for up to 200-feetNOTE: When connecting a speaker it is veryimportant to retain the correct polarity (improperpolarity will cause reduced bass performance andunnatural imaging effects). To do this, be sure thewire attached to the positive terminal on the speaker (marked [+] or coloredred) connects to the positive terminal on the amplifier. Similarly, the negativeterminal (marked [-] or colored black must connect to the negative terminal onthe amplifier.Finishing the Installation7. Slide the speaker into the pre-cut hole in drywall or new construction bracketkeeping the speaker cable above and out of the way to prevent pinching it.8. Tighten the screws. The dog legs will automatically swing out and tighten(pinch) themselves against the new construction bracket or the drywall withthe turning of the screws and will hold the speaker solidly in place. Don’t overtighten screws, if you over-tighten the screws the speaker frame may bend whichwill make it difficult for the grille to install properly.NOTE: If using a drill/driver set the clutch to a low setting to prevent overtightening and possible damage to the frame or dog legs. If using hand tools,tighten just until firm.9. If the speaker has any tone controls or has a pivoting tweeter, leave the grille offuntil you can listen to the speaker. Once the speaker is adjusted install the grille.NOTE: Handle the grille carefully, as the grille pressure-fits into the installedspeaker. If the grille does not slip in try loosening the mounting screws beforeresorting to forcing the grille into the speaker.
